The 2004 entry of 10 Central and Eastern European countries, along
with Malta and Cyprus, into the EU has caused a huge shift in the
EU's external boundaries. The socio-economic and political
transformations that this shift has caused not only suggest new
regional development opportunities, but also many potential
problems and tensions. While the EU insists that enlargement will
not signify 'new divisions', processes of inclusion and exclusion
and the imposition of visa restrictions on non-EU citizens could
pose obstacles to co-operation, conjuring fears of an emerging
'fortress Europe' that effectively divides the continent.
Illustrated with case studies from Central and Eastern European
border areas, this book examines capacities for region building
across national borders in within the context of EU enlargement,
synthesizing the various insights provided by local information and
suggesting ways forward for the future development of the EU's
'Wider Europe' strategy.
